Winnipeg Court Sentences Man For Arson

Jonathan Roger Hein, 49, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of arson with disregard for life for fires set on Aug. 29, 2025, in Winnipeg that destroyed his rented house and damaged the Canada Building on Donald Street. Judge Dale Harvey sentenced him to six years in prison; the fires caused over $10,000 in damage, forced the house's demolition, and followed Hein's reported mental-health struggles and child-support disputes.
